Yes of course, by the time they get to the professional rungs of sport, it really is all about winning. What I'm referring to are the formative years (of, in this case, a footballer).
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/foo...s-nothing.html Obviously I have chosen an article that fits my point of view, but he makes some interesting points, so too do the comments at the bottom. |

I think the point that seems to be being missed here is that we have a whole generation of obese children. We need to encourage kids to be active, by making everything super-competitive all you'll end up doing is putting lot's of kids off. Their kids, it's supposed to be about fun.
There are plenty of sport associations and clubs that teach competitive sport; my son plays footie and cricket at a high junior standard and has never had any serious competitive training at school, the schools are rightly more interested in encouraging physical activity. Why does this have to be turned into another vacuous 'PC Plonkers' SN special? |

The relevant part of the article is about the kids enjoying their sport rather being forced to win by whoever is the authority figure. Kids are more likely to develop their skills if they are enjoying it, rather than being pushed. This is the mindset of the teams more successful than England, which we currently do not adopt, and will be left behind on the world stage if that does not change.
Enjoying sport alone as a youngster with potential isn't enough. Pushing comes in various levels too. Pushed by someone who has been there and done it is fine. Pushed by someone who hasn't a clue can lead to disaster. |

Possibly because most of SN, with you as the top qualifying candidate, come across as PC plonkers. :idea:
